  1. WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR VISIT TO THE DENTAL CLINIC: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

  2. BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT The first step to visiting your dentist is booking an appointment. You should call your dentist on the phone or book an appointment using an online form. You can choose a suitable time that’s most convenient for you. If you call your dentist, the reception team will be friendly and discuss any concerns you might have about visiting the dentist. Feel free to ask any questions about the appointment process during your call.

  3. ARRIVING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT You do not need to bring anything when you visit the dentist for your first appointment unless your dentist has specified otherwise. Once you visit the dentist, you will be escorted to a waiting room until your dentist calls you into the treatment room. Then, your dentist will ask you to sit in the dental treatment chair, ready for your checkup.

  4. CHECKUP Once you sit comfortably in your dentist’s chair, they will perform a dental examination. Your dentist will use light, fingers, and mirrors to assess your oral health. They will check your mouth, teeth, and gums for abnormalities, plaque, or tartar.

  5. GENERAL HEALTH QUESTIONS • Once your dentist has examined your mouth, they will ask you questions about your general health and well-being. Here are some of the questions you can expect from your dentist: • Have you had any pain, swelling, or oral discomfort? • How often do you brush and floss your teeth? • Have you had any other health problems recently? • You should answer these questions honestly, as it will allow your dentist to help you resolve any issues you’re having with your oral health.

  6. DENTAL HYGIENE ADVICE • Once they have assessed the general state of your oral health, your dentist will then begin offering you dental health and hygiene advice, which might include: • Advising you to cut damaging habits such as smoking, sugar, and alcohol. • Provide you with instructions for brushing and flossing your teeth. • Offer any treatments for bad breath, dry mouth, or oral discomfort.

  7. TREATMENT Having assessed your oral health, your dentist can now advise you on any treatments you might need. For instance, if you require wisdom tooth removal, a root canal treatment, or any other procedure, your dentist will discuss the treatment with you and schedule your next appointment. If you do not need a procedure or treatment, your dentist will take this time to plan your next check-up appointment and recommend a dental cleaning appointment.
